What are the most profitable 99's in oldschool runescape? Some skills are very profitable, some break even and some are complete money sinks. Today we are going to be going through all the profitable skills to figure out which one would net you the most on your journey to 99.
For the most part I am going to be picking resonably quick training methods for each skill. Sure there are obscure money makers for pretty much every skill, but if they only offer token xp, I don't think they really would be viable to train with all the way to 99. So things like zalcano, hunting implings won't be included

Could you please verify the current price of the pie dish? It seems to have increased significantly.

[@Arch2Q89]

@@ctsolidum ask hello freash it gives free pie dish lol

[@CoyoteBongwater]

For Tan Leather make sure you check the live prices and not the GE prices for hides/leather. Currently black dhide is about 300gp more expensive than the ge price and the leather isn't selling for as much , actually making it a loss of gp, despite what the wiki might say.

[@loiloiloi6]

Its worth noting for the black chinchompa one if you catch imps with magic boxes, you can just walk a few levels south occasionally while catching black chins and send the whole stack straight to your bank! Each imp you catch gives you 2 uses to bank a stack.

[@ashrd18]

this! and i've been at black chins for at least 10 hours gametime and I was never attacked by anyone. Key factor might be just gearing up in welfare pk gear which intimidate noob pkers in chins.

[@fissionphoenix4995]

I wasn't aware that was even an item in the game.

[@fr3ak1shh]

Heads up from someone who grinded the blast furnace as my first money-maker! The profit is very inconsistent. One day rune bars might be 1.6mil/hr, and the next you might LOSE 300k/hr. Also, if you have a second account with blast furnace requirements, it's very do-able to run 2 blast furnaces at once. So I was making almost 3.5mil/hr at blast furnace when prices were good!

[@maoduida387]

[@joelgrebinsilvestri]

yeah i played for 6 years back in 2007 and the grind was REAL played 8 hs everyday grinding all time now i am 30 years old with an adult life i mean i wouldnt grind that much... but i started playing back OSRS and need a way to make my money

[@rawrtunaisgod]

Oh you need an ungodly amount of time to accomplish what was able to be done back in the day. I remember back in 03 or 04 when I was still a kid and had 8-12 hours a day to dump into it, shit still took me years to max. Now as a grown ass adult with money but little gaming time anymore, I'm glad websites exist to just buy nearly maxed accounts for a few hundred lmao. I already did the grind once - I'll never have that amount of time to sink into this game again, and fuck them for resetting everyone's account back in 2012 or whatever for the unwanted and unrequested Runescape 3 release that fucked over everyone's account. But I sure can hop on and enjoy where my old account was at any time! Just wild to see skills that used to be big profit are mediocre or useless money makers now.

[@tsnomad2100]

Fishing minnows makes FAR more GP than fishing Karambwans, its like 400k an hour, and takes around 400 hours (less than the 420 for Karambwans). Surprised you didn't include it

[@EngageV2HD]

Not afk at all tho

[@nerdicusdorkum2923]

My first, and currently only ever 99 was in construction... in RS3 during one of their million double exp weekends. (feel free to mock me) I mainly wanted it, because I wanted my first 99 to be the dumbest, least logical 99. Figured the literal money sink skill was by and far the most meme worthy. Thankfully, it was also rather fast if you do got all the material you need.

[@202cardline]

My 15 year old account eventually went into RS3 but I still got my first 99 (prayer) the old fashioned way. It was my dream since I was a kid to get the stupidest first 99 I could think of. Okay, I might have used double xp weekends time to time. Listen, it was either 99 prayer the oldschool way or graduating college. I keepsaked my untrimmed 99 prayer cape and cherish it to this day.

[@TheNilsbuss]

you did fishing dirty leaving out the good fishing moneymakers ^^,

[@kennysalty6019]

Blast Furnace can make you money even as early as level 30, so long as you have some starting capital to use it. Steel bars are always in demand for cannonballs and always sell decently well, so if you can get your hands on ice gloves and don't mind camping blast furnace, it's a good start for smithing and if I recall correctly it made me about 300K Gp/Hr. Not a bad start for low level accounts, and you start building towards the higher level bars too.

[@VioIetDawn]

yeah but you need 50 mining for the ice gloves >_

[@kennysalty6019]

@VioIetDawn honestly between plague city, digsite, dorics quest, the giant dwarf, lost tribe, and another slice of HAM, 50 mining really isn't awful. Those quests alone get you straight to 37 and from there you can do power-mining ironfor efficiency, or motherlode mine and shooting stars for afk, and you'll hit 50 without too much effort or time

I've been Fishing Karambwans, can confirm it does take a while but its AFK, and I've fished about 110k so far

[@phuryzz]

Can you do a combat money making guide? Like recommended content for base 60s/70s/80s or gear price points?

[@dennisthemenace5078]

its kind of difficult. most would argue that at base 70s you're better off grinding for base 80s than to try and make money with base 70s. you're still getting gear unlocks etc. if you REALLY want to make money at lower levels (base 60s) you can kill green dragons with a rcb (61 ranged). for melee you could kill cave horrors for a black mask chance i guess? at base 70s (and 75 ranged, blowpipe unlocks a lot) you can kill lizardman shamans, maybe demonic gorillas (will be rough but doable), killing fiyr/urium shades, or doing barrows. at base 80s wildy bosses are by far your best money, boosting magic level with magic potions for artio is an insanely good moneymaker right now. you'll also start being able to do bosses like vorkath and zulrah more consistently (higher levels = more accuracy), muspah starts being a possibility although id suggest 90+ range/mage for those if you do crossbow/trident kills.

[@GooseInvades]

For fishing doing inferno eels 80-99 would get you 130m at about 30-40kxp per hour so not too bad for afking plus making some bonk

[@teddydupont677]

I think plank make is an easy way as well, 1 min 45s per inventory super AFK easy to do while gaming on another game, listening to movies etc

[@SilverionX]

Finally, I've been waiting for a guide like this! Right now I just got to 95 firemaking and Wintertodt wasn't all that bad to be honest. Must be some of the best xp in the game considering there's barely any requirements to it. I've been looking forward to doing the highest tier of Shades of Mor'ton for something like half my playtime, which is a 3,5 months. So much left to look forward to though. :)

You should try woodcutting light medium and dense jungle. I spent 10 hours there and got 8 gout tubers which at the time sold for 1.4m each. It's overlooked for slow experience but I'd definitely better money than mahogany trees.

[@arklife99]

Unless you alch the bows then the xp is better with the bows overall

[@ADrunkBassist]

fletching diamond bolts is just bank standing. 700k gp per hour for 175k xp per hour. My calculation is it would take 72 hours to train to 99 this way, but the catch is you're going to exceed your trade limit everyday

[@robbieswrath1638]

[@Mike_O_Negative]

I think traditional agility methods are a little underrated. If you're someone like me who has high ping internet and doesn't wanna suffer with the hallowed sepulchre, or you just want a more relaxed method, marks of grace from the ardy course would at least put agility around the middle of the list. I get one every 2-3 laps and am sitting on 2.9k right now at level 97 agility

[@X2yt]

Fishing, mining, hunter, farming, runecrafting and thieving are the standounts. Got ~120m fishing infernal eels to 99, ~350m with runite from 85 to 99, probly around 80m doing herbs runs until 99, around 150m thieving crystal teleport seeds in priffdinas to 99 thieving, atm working on hunter, so far around 40m with herbiboars and currently at 97 hunter, so probly ~55m total. And i lucked out and got RC to 77 while blood runes were still worth something, so from 77 to 95 runecraft got around 300m with just blood runes at dense essence altair. So sad bloods dropped in price, it's almost pointless to level RC in kourend now. All in all, around a bill without doing a single raid ever, just pure skilling, and without even any rare drops from slayer, most expensive probly being maybe 5-6 abby whips back when they were like 4m ea. Other than that, absolute shit for luck on drops, and yet to even try any raid across any of my accounts in like 8 years of osrs lol.

Instead of Money Makers. A good video to make would be what skills you should train to SAVE you MONEY or TIME over time. Like Prayer will save you how much pray pots from keeping pray at 74 or training all the way to 99, How many prayer pots will you save. Or like Agility doing different things. Saving you time in training other skills. I know there would be a lot of projection and a lot of number crunching. But this would be great info to have specially for those that can only train for a few hours a day and it would also give a new way of looking at the game. I can tell you having 99 pray helps a lot getting 99 slayer and having a higher agility saves so much time just getting around the entire game and helps with many different skills. This could be a whole new series and you could actially take it one skill at a time. Me im too lazy. See you in game.
